September is the month for the new Rams! The Dually Diesel version will have the 12000gvw. Single rear wheel 3500 along with 2500. New Hemi engine, @ different Cummins's with the High Output putting out 305hp and 555 lbs feet of tork. Real 4 door crew cabs.
If you are gonna do some occasional pulling you might want to consider the new Hemi. It wont have as much tork as the v10 but its HP I think is a little more then the v10 and should be better on gas. Only draw back is its a NEW Hemi engine and you never know if there will be any new engine bugs to work out.
If I was to buy a new Ram I would get the diesel for sure. The noise is a little more but the MPG will be better and fuel is usually cheaper plus I tend to keep my stuff and over maintain things a little and drive them for a long time.
